Is there more specific information available about this? That is, we'll be
updating from PHP version X to PHP version Y. And what specifically will
be changing? Only a patch for temporary files or will other changes be
included as well? I ask because even minor changes in PHP can have strange
and unforeseen consequences across such a large codebase.
In particular, will the new version of php be compiled against the
same version of ICU library, because that is something that has caused
problems multiple times in the past?
